1 Page 1 of 13 DATE APPLICATION RECEIVED: June 6, Application # FY96-TV010 FACILITY DESCRIPTION Wheelabrator-Claremont (Wheelabrator) operates a resource recovery facility in Claremont, NH. The resource recovery facility burns municipal solid waste (MSW) in two 100 tons/day mass burn units that generate steam. The steam drives a turbine generator to produce electricity for sale to the local utility. The gross generating capacity of the facility at the maximum capacity rating is nominally 6 MW. The MSW combustors are two identical mass-fired waterwall boilers each with a maximum heat input rate of 43.1 MMBTU/hr (9583 lb/hr MSW based on a heating value of 4500 BTU/lb). Each unit is equipped with a single auxiliary propane fired burner rated at a maximum of 15 MMBTU/hr. Emissions from each boiler are currently controlled by a dry lime injection system and a fabric filter prior to exhausting to the atmosphere. The quenched bottom ash from each boiler is transformed by a drag conveyor to an ash bin. Flyash is mixed in an ash pelletizer and added to the bottom ash on the ash on the drag conveyor. The mixed ash is loaded into containers in the enclosed ash bay, and full containers are stored on site prior to transport to the ash residue monofill. Wheelabrator will install a powdered activated carbon injection system (PACIS), an evaporative cooling system (ECS) and upgrade the fabric filters from fiberglass bags to Ryton bags. The facility is making these changes to comply with the requirements of Env-A PROJECT DESCRIPTION The purpose of this project is to review Wheelabrator s Title V application. This Permit covers the following emission units: Device Unit #1 - MSW Boiler (Waterwall Boiler) Unit #2 - MSW Boiler (Waterwall Boiler) Table 1 Emission Units Manufacturer, Model, Installation Date American Shack/Von Roll Grates, Serial No BX, Installed American Shack/Von Roll Grates, Serial No BX, Installed Operating Limitations 1. The maximum heat input of each device shall be limited to 43.1 MMBTU/hr. 2. The maximum municipal solid waste throughput per year shall be limited to 36,500 tons (per each device). CONTROL DEVICE DESCRIPTION Pollutants in the flue gases from each boiler are controlled by two identical dry lime injection scrubbers (DLIS) and two identical fabric filter baghouses (FFBH). The lime reagent is blown into the exhaust ductwork at a point between the spark trap and the fabric filter baghouses. After the treatment in the DLIS, the flue gas from each boiler is directed to its associated FFBH. Particulate matter deposited on the fabric filter bags is removed by a pulse jet air stream. The flue gas from each boiler is emitted to the atmosphere through individual flues within a dual flue, insulated stack, the top of which is 150 feet above ground level. The boilers are equipped with a single timeshared extractive Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) for the measurement of CO emissions. Each boiler is equipped is equipped with a Continuous Opacity Monitoring System (COMS) for the measurement of opacity. The CEMS is also equipped with a diluent O 2 monitor. The new ECS 1 will be installed upstream of the existing fabric filters in the area that is currently occupied by the spark arrestors. The ECS will reduce the economizer exit flue gas temperature so that the carbon will optimally react with mercury. Finely atomized water droplets are evaporated in high-temperature exhaust gases to lower temperature and raise humidity. By lowering gas temperatures quickly, ECS reduces dioxin and furan formation. 1 ECS and PACIS permitted under FP-T-0108

2 Page 2 of 13 The PACIS will primarily control mercury and also enhance the reduction in organic emissions (dioxins/furans). The powdered activated carbon (PAC) will be delivered pneumatically to the economizer outlet duct downstream of the ECS using bulk bag feeder/eductor systems. The system will also include a control panel, blowers, feeders/eductors and piping. The PAC will be delivered in 1000 lb bulk bags. The bags will discharge to a surge hopper. The surge hopper will discharge to a volumetric screw feeder. The screw feeder will discharge to a venturi eductor. A dedicated, positive displacement blower will provide the conveying air to the throat of the venturi eductor, drawing in the activated carbon, and additional conveying air. The activated carbon will then be pneumatically conveyed using carbon steel pipe to the downstream ductwork of the ECS. The existing dry lime injection system will remain in service. The DLIS will control emissions of SO 2 and HCl. The injected lime will absorb acid gases like SO 2 and HCl. The downstream fabric filter will provide the final acid gas and particulate matter removal. The fabric filter (for each boiler) currently utilizes fiberglass bags. The bags will be replaced with Ryton bags, which will have a longer operating life than the fiberglass bags. As required by Env-A 3300, Wheelabrator will install CEMS to monitor SO 2 emissions. Env-A 3300 Env-A 3300 is applicable to existing MWC units with a capacity to combust more than 35 tons per day of MSW. US EPA developed emission guidelines for existing small MWC units (40 CFR 60, Subpart BBBB) in accordance with sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act. NH DES was required to submit a state plan to EPA that implements the emission guidelines contained in subpart BBBB. Env-A 3300 was adopted by ARD on 6/7/02. The state plan was submitted to EPA on August 16, 2002 and was approved on February 10, The rule became effective (i.e., federally enforceable) on April 11, Wheelabrator is required to follow the following compliance schedule as set forth in Env-A : The MWC units (EU01 & EU02) shall comply with the emission limits specified in Env-A 3303 by April 11, 2004, except as provided below: a. MWC units requiring more time to comply with the emission limits specified in Env-A 3303 shall comply with such requirements by December 6, 2005 by submitting the following: i. A final control plan by October 11, 2003; and ii.
